The st. Louis Bridge Tolls.


ST. Louis, JAM 8-The Globe-Democrat
states that it is learned from perfectly reliable
sources that negotiations have been in progress
for some time looking to the joint operation of
the st. Louis bridge and tunnel property and
the abolition Of the bridge arbitrary. This
would, in effect make the bridge free. The
scheme is being worked very quietly, and con-
siderable care has been taken to keep it from
leaking. 1t had reached satisfactory point
just before the Wabash reorganization was
broken, but though its contamination was I'M
doubtedly delayed by that occurrence, it is
claimed that it has not since been dropped, but
will be pushed the same before. Concerned in
it are the Gould lines and the St Louis & San
Francisco and the east bound trunk lines. The
most active parties the Vandalia, the Bee
line, the Ohio & Mississippi and the Baltimore
& Ohio people, though the benefits are to accrue
to all other lines. The scheme is for these COM
panies, in connection with the Gould in
terests, TO assume the lease of the prop
erty of the Bridge and Tunnel Compa-
ny, operate it and pay all expenses and
fixed charges. and abolish the arbitrary on pas
seneer and freight rates, taxing other companies
not concerned in the lease and operation with a
proportionate charge, to be also absorbed In the
rate. Little doubt is felt but that this agree
ment will be completed, and that the bridge will
by that method, be made free.
